About the NetApp AFF A90 All-Flash Storage System

The NetApp AFF A90 is a next-generation all-flash array purpose-built for AI, machine learning, and high-performance enterprise workloads. Built on NVMe technology with a modular architecture, the A90 delivers ultra-low latency and deterministic performance at scale, supporting demanding parallel I/O patterns required by modern data analytics and generative AI inference pipelines.

The system features dual-controller active-active configuration for continuous availability and non-disruptive operations. ONTAP data management software provides advanced capabilities including inline deduplication, compression, and snapshots, enabling efficient resource utilization while maintaining performance. The A90 integrates seamlessly into hybrid cloud architectures with support for cloud-connected tiering and multi-site replication.

Designed for enterprises requiring predictable, high-throughput performance, the A90 supports NVMe-oF connectivity alongside traditional FC/iSCSI options, enabling mixed-protocol deployments. End-to-end encryption, FIPS 140-2 compliance, and role-based access controls address strict enterprise security and governance requirements.

Ideal for

  • Real-time machine learning model training with high-volume data ingestion and concurrent GPU cluster access
  • High-frequency financial services analytics and risk modeling requiring sub-millisecond latency
  • Large-scale genomics and life sciences research data processing with multi-petabyte datasets
  • Enterprise data warehousing supporting complex analytical queries across mixed workloads
  • AI inference platforms requiring consistent, deterministic performance for production deployments
  • Virtualized database environments with mixed transactional and analytical I/O patterns
